15 Ooozesome Places in Singapore

For the uninitiated, you could call this a Mille-Feuille version of the tonkatsu, as it is made by layering thinly sliced pork instead of a whole piece of pork loin. Now. imagine mozzarella cheese sitting in the middle, waiting to slowly melt into golden lava as the whole breaded ‘cutlet’ is deep-fried. The result? Cheese Tonkatsu ($26.90) — an epic combination of the crisp golden brown batter and bread crumbs, succulent pork slices and ooey gooey cheese centre is guaranteed to please.

This saliva-inducing dessert has become synonymous with this café and even after seeing it again and again everywhere on social media, it still never fails to tempt even the most regular of diners. The food here is decent, but the dish that really takes the cake (ha!) is the Golden Custard Lava Cake ($12). It’s simple, really. Think lush warm chocolate cake smothered from the inside with gooey, rich, salted egg yolk custard that bleeds out of its cake mould at the very first incision. So sinful, yet so comforting and satisfying.

Molten chocolate cakes may no longer excite you, but how about a salted butter caramel lava cake ($16)? Slice into the unassuming cylinder of decadence to reveal a 90:10 filling-to-cake ratio, and enjoy the toothsome contrast between the oozing molten savoury caramel with a cold spoonful of ice cream. Coupled with Sabio’s solid line-up of tapas and a stunning view of the marina, this luscious signature is impossible to resist. This place screams date night!
